Use a C++ callback instead of Callable for synchronizing physics nodes' state with physics servers.
Remove usage of PhysicsDirectBodyState in physics nodes when not
necessary.
Store PhysicsDirectBodyState for bodies individually instead of a
singleton to avoid issues when accessing direct body state for multiple
bodies.
PhysicsDirectBodyState is initialized only when needed, so it doesn't
have to be created when using the physics server directly.
Move PhysicsDirectBodyState2D and PhysicsDirectBodyState3D to separate
cpp files.
* Exposed functions in Engine to register and unregister singletons.
* Added the concept of user singletons, which can be removed (the system ones can't).
In the `master` branch, 16× MSAA caused the entire system to freeze
on NVIDIA GPUs. This is likely caused by graphics drivers not actually
implementing 16× MSAA, but combining 8× MSAA with 2× SSAA instead.
On top of that, modern shader complexity makes 16× MSAA very difficult
to use while keeping a good framerate. 8× MSAA is hard enough to use
as it is.
Make separation ray shapes work properly in move_and_slide, wihtout the
specific code in CharacterBody like before.
Now most of the logic is handled inside the physics server. The only
thing that's needed is to use ray shapes only for recovery and ignore
them when performing the motion itself (unless we're snapping or slips
on slope is on).
Adds ability to add error return documetation to the binder and class reference.
Usage example:
```C++
void MyClass::_bind_method() {
[..]
BIND_METHOD_ERR_RETURN_DOC("load", ERR_FILE_CANT_OPEN, ERR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED);
}
```
One function of ConfigFile was changed as example.
* Allows calling into native extensions directly with a pointer
* Makes it easier to implement some APIs more efficiently
* Appears with a "*" in the documentation for the argument.
* Implementing the pointer handling is entirely up to the implementation, although the extension API provides some hint.
* AudioStream has been implemented as an example, allowing to create NativeExtension based AudioStreams.
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
This commit adds quite a chunk of modifications to particles
- particle (value + randomness) now use min and max instead
- passing a curveXYZtexture is now possible and will scale particles per-axis
- CPUParticle3D have an optional parameter to split the scale curve per-axis
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Remove duplicate bezier code and use Curve instead.
Add an overridable method for retrieving the points of a connection line, which
makes it posible to create custom connections lines.
* Extensions are now scanned and loaded on demand.
* Extensions found are cached into a file that is used to load them (which is also exported).
* Editor will ask to restart when an extension requires core functionality.
* Editor will attempt to load extensions always before importing or loading scenes. This ensures extensions can register the relevant types.
OmniLight3D:
* Fixed lack of precision in cube map mode by scaling the projection's
znear.
* Fixed aliasing issues by making the paraboloids use two square regions instead of two half
squares.
* Fixed shadowmap atlas bleeding by adding padding.
* Fixed sihadow blur's inconsistent radius and unclamped sampling.
SpotLight3D:
* Fixed lack of precision by scaling the projection's znear.
* Fixed normal biasing.
Both:
* Tweaked biasing to make sure it works out of the box in most situations.
Like the spawn/despawn feature, it can be completely overridden with 2
custom callables.
The callables will be called with the list of tracked objects.
In SERVER mode, objects are automatically tracked, while in CUSTOM mode
you can manually track them via `track`/`untrack` (but that's optional).
The default sync only happens from server to client, with batch updates,
over unreliable channel (but with custom ordering).
The default sync will warn you, if your state representation gets too
big.
Move the former "spawnables" functions to a dedicated
MultiplayerReplicator class.
Support custom overrides in replicator.
Spawn/despawn messages can now contain a state.
The state can be automatically encoded/decoded by passing the desired
object properties to `spawnable_config`.
You can use script properties to optimize the state representation.
2 Callables can be also specified to completely override the default
implementation for sending and receiving the spawn/despawn event.
(9 bytes overhead, and there's room for improvement here).
When using a custom implementation `spawn` and `despawn` can be called
with any Object, `send_spawn`/`send_despawn` can receive any Variant as
a state, and the path is not required.
Two new functions, `spawn` and `despawn`, convey the implementation
independent method for requesting a spawn/despawn of an Object, while
`send_spawn` and `send_despawn` represent the more low-level send event
for a Variant to be used by the custom implementations.
Fixes undefined behavior, and fixes the logic for negative powers of ten.
Fixes#51764.
Adds tests to validate the changes and prevent regressions.
Adds docs for `String.num`.
* Make sure shaders are named, to aid in debug in case of failure
* SceneRenderRD was being wrongly initialized (virtual functions being called when derivative class not initialized).
* Fixed some bugs resulting on the above being corrected.
* Make Undo/Redo menu items disabled when clicking it does nothing.
* Context menu of `TextEdit`
* Context menu of `LineEdit`
* Editor's Scene menu
* Script editor's Edit menu and context menu (for Script and Text)
* Make editor undo/redo log messages translatable.
* Mark `UndoRedo`'s `has_{un,re}do()` methods as `const`.
* Expose `TextEdit`'s `has_{un,re}do()` to scripts since `{un,re}do()` are already available.
This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
Changes:
- Rename few methods/property and group them in the editor when it's possible
- Make MotionResult API consistency with KinematicCollision
- Return a boolean in move_and_slide if there was a collision
- New methods:
- get_floor_angle on CharacterBody to get the floor angle.
- get_angle on KinematicCollision to get the collision angle.
- get_last_slide_collision to quickly get the latest collision of move_and_slide.
This PR and commit adds a new IK system for 3D with the Skeleton3D node
that adds several new IK solvers, as well as additional changes and functionality
for making bone manipulation in Godot easier.
This work was sponsored by GSoC 2020 and TwistedTwigleg
Full list of changes:
* Adds a SkeletonModification3D resource
* This resource is the base where all IK code is written and executed
* Adds a SkeletonModificationStack3D resource
* This node oversees the execution of the modifications and acts as a bridge of sorts for the modifications to the Skeleton3D node
* Adds SkeletonModification3D resources for LookAt, CCDIK, FABRIK, Jiggle, and TwoBoneIK
* Each modification is in it's own file
* Several changes to Skeletons, listed below:
* Added local_pose_override, which acts just like global_pose_override but keeps bone-child relationships intract
* So if you move a bone using local_pose_override, all of the bones that are children will also be moved. This is different than global_pose_override, which only affects the individual bone
* Internally bones keep track of their children. This removes the need of a processing list, makes it possible to update just a few select bones at a time, and makes it easier to traverse down the bone chain
* Additional functions added for converting from world transform to global poses, global poses to local poses, and all the same changes but backwards (local to global, global to world). This makes it much easier to work with bone transforms without needing to think too much about how to convert them.
* New signal added, bone_pose_changed, that can be used to tell if a specific bone changed its transform. Needed for BoneAttachment3D
* Added functions for getting the forward position of a bone
* BoneAttachment3D node refactored heavily
* BoneAttachment3D node is now completely standalone in its functionality.
* This makes the code easier and less interconnected, as well as allowing them to function properly without being direct children of Skeleton3D nodes
* BoneAttachment3D now can be set either using the index or the bone name.
* BoneAttachment3D nodes can now set the bone transform instead of just following it. This is disabled by default for compatibility
* BoneAttachment3D now shows a warning when not configured correctly
* Added rotate_to_align function in Basis
* Added class reference documentation for all changes
If enabled, key/touch/joystick events will be flushed just before every idle and physics frame.
Enabling this can greatly improve the responsiveness to input, specially in devices that need to run multiple physics frames per each idle frame, because of not being powerful enough to run at the target frame rate.
This will only work for platforms using input buffering (regardless event accumulation). Currenly, only Android does so, but could be implemented for iOS in an upcoming PR.
- Back to 1-based layer names to make it clearer in editor UI
- Layer bit accessors are renamed to layer value and 1-based too
- Uniform errors and documentation in render and physics
- Fix a few remaining collision_layer used in place of collision_mask
The project setting wasn't being used anywhere.
This also tweaks the property hints to denote that these properties
are only effective after a restart.
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
This makes it clearer that this property is only about physics FPS,
not rendering FPS.
The `physics_fps` project setting was also renamed to
`physics_ticks_per_second` for consistency.
This PR and commit adds the functionality to arrange nodes in VisualScript/VisualShader editor. The layout generated by this
feature is compact, with minimum crossings between connections
& uniform horizontal & vertical gaps between the nodes.
This work has been sponsored by GSoC '21.
Full list of additions/changes:
• Added arrange_nodes() method in GraphEdit module.
• This method computes new positions for all the selected
nodes by forming blocks and compressing them.
The nodes are moved to these new positions.
• Adding this method to GraphEdit makes it available for
use in VisualScript/VisualShaders editors and its other
subclasses.
• Button with an icon has been added to call arrange_nodes() in GraphEdit.
• This button is inherited by VisualScript/VisualShaders editors
to invoke the method.
• Undo/redo is functional with this method.
• By using signals in arrange_nodes(), position changes are registered
in undo/redo stack of the subclass that is using the method.
• Metadata of the method has been updated in ClassDB
• Method description has been added to class reference of GraphEdit
Infinite inertia:
Not needed anymore, since it's now possible to set one-directional
collision layers in order for characters to ignore rigid bodies, while
rigid bodies still collide with characters.
Ray shapes:
They were introduced as a work around to allow constant speed on slopes,
which is now possible with the new property in CharacterBody instead.
Same thing that was already done in 2D, applies moving platform motion
by using a call to move_and_collide that excludes the platform itself,
instead of making it part of the body motion.
Helps with handling walls and slopes correctly when the character walks
on the moving platform.
Also made some minor adjustments to the 2D version and documentation.
Co-authored-by: fabriceci <fabricecipolla@gmail.com>
When synchronizing CharacterBody motion with moving the platform using
direct body state, only the linear velocity was taken into account.
This change exposes velocity at local point in direct body state and
uses it in move_and_slide to get the proper velocity that includes
rotations.
`PackedScene`s can be configured to be spawnable via a new
`MultiplayerAPI.spawnable_config` method.
They can be configured either to be spawned automatically when coming
from the server or to always require verification.
Another method, `MultiplayerAPI.send_spawn` lets you request a spawn on
the remote peers.
When a peer receive a spawn request:
- If it comes from the server and the scene is configured as
`SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`:
- Spawn the scene (instantiate it, add it to tree).
- Emit signal `network_spawn`.
- Else:
- Emit signal `network_spawn_request`.
In a similar way, `despawn`s are handled automatically in
`SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`.
In `SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`, when a new client connects it will also receive,
from the server all the spawned (and not yet despawned) instances.
Change incorrect `[/code]` closing tags to `[/url]` tags.
The `url` tags for the links to the Unicode code points information use `[/code]` rather than `[/url]` to close them.
This results in the links being rendered incorrectly in the IDE--the entire rest of the documentation for each method gets turned into a giant underlined link.
This issue was introduced in a2271ba3bd.
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
Having a property which has the same name as its class leads to confusing
situations (e.g. `BaseButton` has a `shortcut` property of type `Shortcut`
which has a `shortcut` property of type `InputEvent`).
Also renames `is_event` to `matches_event`, and `is_valid` to `has_valid_event`
to better reflect what the methods check.
Adds a few more complex edge cases which are supported.
Also adds some documentation, simplifies the code a bit and forbids using
double quotes as a delimiter.
- Now able to display up to 32 layers in physics (still 20 for render)
- Adjustable grid size to fit available space in dock
- Expansion icon to display more layers vertically
- Layer numbers in cells to help with selection
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
* Simplified code a lot, bias based on normalized cascade size.
* Lets scale cascades, max distance, etc. without creating acne.
* Fixed normal biasing in directional shadows.
I removed normal biasing in both omni and spot shadows, since the technique can't be easily implemented there.
Will need to be replaced by something else.
Used by ENetMultiplayerPeer and WebSocketServer to generate network IDs,
and exposed to the user for p2p networks (e.g. WebRTCMultiplayerPeer)
and custom MultiplayerPeer implementations.
* Fixed subgizmo editing on scaled nodes.
* Added more clarifications on the coordinate space of subgizmos.
* Given input priority to the transform gizmo over subgizmo selection.
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob.
* On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse.
* On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL.
This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved.
I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware.
There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.
Found via `codespell -q 3 -S ./thirdparty,*.po,./DONORS.md -L ackward,ang,ans,ba,beng,cas,childs,childrens,dof,doubleclick,fave,findn,hist,inout,leapyear,lod,nd,numer,ois,ony,paket,seeked,sinc,switchs,te,uint`
* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
* Clean-up of node_3d_editor_plugin.{h,cpp}: removed unused code, fixed some bugs.
* Moved node_3d_editor_gizmos.{h,cpp} to editor/plugins.
* Added support for multiple gizmos per node. This means custom gizmos will no longer override the built-in ones and that multiple gizmos can be used in more complex nodes.
* Added support for handle IDs. When adding handles to a gizmo, an ID can be specified for each one, making it easier to work with gizmos that have a variable number of handles.
* Added support for subgizmos, selectable elements that can be transformed without needing a node of their own. By overriding _subgizmo_intersect_frustum() and/or _subgizmo_intersect_ray() gizmos can define which subgizmos should be selected on a region or click selection. Subgizmo transformations are applied using get/set/commit virtual methods, similar to how handles work.
This pull request fixes an assortment of typos and improves conciseness in `Animation`, `Area2D`, `Array`, `ArrayMesh`, `Control`, `Directory`, `EditorPlugin`, `Engine`, and `OS`.
The various get_meta, set_meta, has_meta, get_meta_list, remove_meta
functions now uses StringName, allowing further optimizations via the
SNAME macro when used from C++ (this PR does not change the various
usage though).
- Move the "sync" property for RPCs to RPCConfig.
- Unify GDScript annotations into a single one:
- `@rpc(master)` # default
- `@rpc(puppet)`
- `@rpc(any)` # former `@remote`
- Implement three additional `@rpc` options:
- The second parameter is the "sync" option (which also calls the
function locally when RPCing). One of "sync", "nosync".
- The third parameter is the transfer mode (reliable, unreliable,
ordered).
- The third parameter is the channel (unused for now).
* Shadow quality settings now specialization constant.
* Decal and light projector filters can be set.
* Changing those settings forces re-creation of the pipelines.
These changes should help improve performance related to shadow mapping, and allows improving performance by sacrificing decal and light projector quality.
Check for each body individually if it collides with the other one or
ignores it.
When a body is being ignored, the other body's mass is considered
infinite when applying impulses to avoid extra overlapping.
* LineEdit popups created on demand.
* TextEdit popups created on demand.
* SpinSlider popups created on demand.
* ResourcePicker popups created on demand.
Improves editor responsiveness.
Now static body is used for moving platforms through kinematic motion
property, so sync to physics needs to be in StaticBody2D instead of
CharacterBody2D.
Constant kinematic motion is also supported in combination with sync to
physics for smoother movements.
Fixing by applying the movement in two steps, first the platform
movement, and then the body movement. Plus, add the platform movement
when we are on_wall.
Neither name is a perfect match but `Curve3Texture` looked too similar to
`CurveTexture` and `Curve3D`, which made things confusing when picking a
texture type or browsing the API reference.
* Added support to our local copy of SpirV Reflect (which does not support it).
* Pass them on render or compute pipeline creation.
* Not implemented in our shaders yet.
and 3D CPU particles. The new emitter is called "ring"
and it can emit either in a ring or cylinder fashion.
This adds the following properties for the emitter:
1. emission_ring_axis: the axis along which the ring/cylinder
will be constructed
2. emission_ring_radius: outer radius of the ring/cylinder
3. emission_ring_inner_radius: inner radius of the cylinder.
when set to zero, particles will emit in the full volume.
4. emission_ring_height: height of the ring/cylinder emitter.
This pull request adds a missing method description to `PopupMenu`.
This completes the documentation for `PopupMenu` and enhances usability by doing so.
Update doc/classes/PopupMenu.xml

Clean: remove duplicate and interior vertices (uses Bullet algorithm)
Simplify: modify the geometry for further simplification (uses VHACD
algorithm)
In the editor, single convex hull now uses the clean option.
Added a new editor entry to create a simplified convex hull, can be
useful for creating convex hull from highly tessellated triangle meshes.
When appending text (either via `set_text()` or by pasting from clipboard),
if the input would make the `LineEdit` exceed its configured `max_length`,
the input text is truncated to fit. The discard part is passed as a parameter
in the `text_change_rejected` signal.
Fixes#33321.
Fixes#41278.
Also cleaned up unimplemented `max_chars` property in `TextEdit`.

This pull request adds a small amendment to `SceneTree` describing the behavior `_physics_process()` when pausing the scene.
`_physics_process` will completely stop processing collisions and signals whenever the scene is paused, however, the function will still receive calls.
This addresses: #47326
This pull request adds several descriptions to multiple different classes.
This improves the completeness of the documentation and enhances usability by doing so.
Fixes some problems introduced by #49917
* Tree used minimum size as a stretch ratio, so it forced a minimum size of 1.
* Minimum size redone, stretch ratio moved to a separate setting
* Fitting to contents was enforced, this is more intuitive, but in many situations this is undesired.
* Added a clip content option for situations where fit to contents does not apply.
* Icon would scroll with the item, making it invislbe if the item is too long.
* Made icon always appear to the right (or left if RTL is enabled) of the visible item space.
* there is now a more clear distinction between camera_2d and camera_3d functions in the engine code
* simplified camera2d's exported interface - now everything happens directly with the 'current' variable and make_current and clear_current are no longer exposed- there were some situations where calling one instead of set_current would result in incomplete results
* rebased to current godot master
* This was required by users in some scenarios, such as animating individual axes over time with a single texture.
* Examples: Shaders, Particles, etc.
* CurveTexture now defaults to RGB, can be changed to Red if needed, this allows to freely exchange them.
* Fixed and redone the process to obtain render information from a viewport
* Some stats, such as material changes are too difficult to guess on Vulkan, were removed.
* Separated visible and shadow stats, which causes confusion.
* Texture, buffer and general video memory can be queried now.
* Fixed the performance metrics too.
The Optimized shadow depth range was removed in late 2020 in favor
of the Stable shadow depth range, but it still had a (broken) property
that allowed to enable it.
* Removed entirely from RenderingServer.
* Replaced by ImmediateMesh resource.
* ImmediateMesh replaces ImmediateGeometry, but could use more optimization in the future.
* Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D work again, ported from Godot 3.x (though a lot of work was needed to adapt them to Godot 4).
* RootMotionView works again.
* Polygon3D editor works again.
New property disable_mode to set different behaviors:
Remove: remove from physics simulation
MakeStatic: change body mode to static (doesn't affect area and soft body)
KeepActive: do nothing
Extra change:
Handle disable/enable node state with specific notifications, in order
to differentiate global pause from disabled nodes.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
* Editor 2D viewport now uses embedded subwindows (windows no longer pop up)
* Restored the ability to disable 3D on the 2D viewport (makes 3D not display on 2D when there is a camera on the scene)
Make sure the direction of the motion is preserved, unless the depth is
higher than the margin, which means the body needs depenetration in any
direction.
Also changed move_and_slide to avoid sliding on the first motion, in
order to avoid issues with unstable position on ground when jumping.

Fix more cases of node path needing an update when nodes are renamed or
moved in the editor.
Built-in node properties:
Before, node paths were checked only for script export variables. Now
all properties are checked from the node, which includes built-in node
properties.
Allows proper node path updates for nodes like remote transform, physics
joints, etc.
Arrays and dictionaries:
Node paths nested in array and dictionary properties are now also
updated in the editor.
Also update the documentation to be clear about node path update in the
editor and at runtime.

* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
The CylinderMesh generation code handles this special case and
avoids generating the top and bottom faces if their radius is equal
to 0. This improves performance by reducing the number of vertices
to draw.
If both values are set to 0, nothing will be visible but the mesh
generation will still succeed.
This also improves the CylinderMesh class documentation.
* Tweens were changed from Node to RefCounted. New API is inspired by DOTween.
* Tweens are created and managed by SceneTree, similar to SceneTreeTimer, which makes them ultra cheap to use a lot.
* Animating with Tweens is done by creating sequences of Tweeners. You create them from code and they autostart by default (fire-and-forget).
* There are 4 Tweeners that cover the former Tween functionality: PropertyTweener, IntervalTweener, CallbackTweener and MethodTweener.
* The methods were simplified a lot. Long argument lists are replaced with chained calls on Tweens and Tweeners.
* Tweeners by default execute in sequence, so it's easy to create complex chained animations.
* You can bind a Tween to a node. Tween will be removed automatically when the bound node is freed.
This can be used by editor plugins and non-game applications to
store data in the correct directories according to the
XDG Base Directory specification.
* Added a function to ignore subsequent commands if they don't fall within the slice.
* This will be used by the new TileMap to properly provide animated tiles.
* Renames for 2D and 3D
* Class name was confusing, given both 2D and 3D have a "visible" property that is unrelated to actual on-screen visibility.
* New name makes it clear that this is about visibility on screen.
* This is the 3D counterpart to #49632
* Implemented a bit different as 3D works using instancing
After merged, both 2D and 3D classes will most likely be renamed in a separate PR to DisplayNotifier2D/3D.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched
Previously, it would only find the first result and would not select other results
Renames "_entered" functions to "_submitted"
* Works from RenderinServer
* Accurately tells when on or off-scren, its no longer approximate.
* VisibilityEnabler also simplified to use the process mode instead.
Renames get_parent_spatial() to get_parent_node3d() and changes its
implementation. Before it was not returning a correct pointer if the
node wasn't added to a SceneTree. Now it uses the same implementation as
CanvasItem, which will be correct even for nodes outside a SceneTree.
This commit adds the following properties to GeometryInstance3D: `visibility_range_begin`,
`visibility_range_begin_margin`, `visibility_range_end`, `visibility_range_end_margin`.
Together they define a range in which the GeometryInstance3D will be visible from the camera,
taking hysteresis into account for state changes. A begin or end value of 0 will be ignored,
so the visibility range can be open-ended in both directions.
This commit also adds the `visibility_parent` property to 'Node3D'.
Which defines the visibility parents of the node and its subtree (until
another parent is defined).
Visual instances with a visibility parent will only be visible when the parent, and all of its
ancestors recursively, are hidden because they are closer to the camera than their respective
`visibility_range_begin` thresholds.
Combining visibility ranges and visibility parents users can set-up a quick HLOD system
that shows high detail meshes when close (i.e buildings, trees) and merged low detail meshes
for far away groups (i.e. cities, woods).
